Tickets are available now for Chris Young, who will perform April 18. Ticketmaster prices for the show range from $30 to $55. Tickets for Dave Matthews Band and Brantley Gilbert don’t go on sale until Friday, but Brandon officials said scalpers are already trying to sell tickets at inflated prices.

“Our tickets from our actual run, depending on each show, will run from $30 to $100,” Brandon Mayor Butch Lee said. “I'm already getting calls from some people I go to church with about high ticket prices and that's really not true. You've got to be careful about where you're going and what websites you're going to.”

Prices shown on the Ticketmaster website before tickets go on sale to the public are advanced ticket prices and presale to some preferred credit card holders. Once the ticket sales are underway, the prices and seating choices will be unlocked, venue managers said.

Ten acts, including Luke Bryan and Chris Stapleton announced this week, are scheduled to perform at the Brandon Amphitheater so far.

Country music legend and Mississippi native Marty Stuart will open for Stapleton during the June 16 show.

“The Brandon Amphitheater is one more asset in the whole overall creative empire of Mississippi, so to have a place like that that is new and fresh and booking all kinds of shows in there is wonderful,” Stuart said. “It’s wonderful and I’m glad to be a part of it.”

Tickets for Dave Mathews Band go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, and tickets for Brantley Gilbert go on sale at noon Friday. Tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster, on the Brandon Amphitheater website or at a temporary box office that will be set up Friday at Brandon City Hall.
